Quintilian was born in Spain about AD 35; he became a well-known and prosperous teacher of rhetoric in Rome, probably the first to receive a salary as such from public funds. His Institutio Oratoria (Training of an Orator), a comprehensive training program in twelve books, draws on his own rich experience. Here Quintilian gives guidelines for proper schooling (beginning with the young boy); analyzes the structure of speeches and recommends devices for engaging listeners and appealing to their emotions; reviews a wide range of Greek and Latin authors of use to the orator; and counsels on memory, delivery, and gestures. This practical guide, in lucid style, provides valuable insight on Roman education. The work also yields many a memorable comment on the styles of various writers.
Extractions: Author's note: They say Poseidon is bad-tempered, like the sea, and that he loves to quarrel, as many of his myths demonstrate. But this is because the Greeks projected human temperament onto the sea, which, perhaps, shows a lack of respect for the sea itself. The sea is neither quarrelsome nor easily angered. It just is. Certain factors sometimes make it wild and troublesome to humans, but human opinion means nothing to the sea and its inhabitants. Its vast spirit lies far beyond the boundaries of human perception even though it may at times interact in limited ways with certain humans who resonate with it. The Greeks called this vast spirit Poseidon. The Romans called it Neptune. Both cultures dramatized it, gave it emotions, lovers, offspring; made it a rapist of numerous nymphs and goddesses. Such stories may be entertaining fantasies emerging from projections of Greek libido, but they are hardly relevant to the sea.

Extractions: A new English translation of Quintus' Posthomerica was long overdue. The archaizing language of Arthur Way's 1913 Loeb is occasionally harder to follow than the accompanying Greek text, which is that of Koechly's 1850 edition. Frederick Combellack's 1968 prose version ( The War at Troy Posthomerica ] has tended to be dismissed as a late imitation of Homer without serious attempt to assess its qualities. (...) How far the main thrust of this critique is justifiable can now be left for unprejudiced readers to judge for themselves" (p. vii). In their recent commentary on Posthomerica 5, J. and the late Kevin Lee provided what was, amazingly, the first full-scale introduction to Quintus and his poem in English. J.'s introduction in the present volume presses largely the same points, but it has been expertly tailored to suit a wider audience. It opens with a section on "Homer and the Epic Cycle" which discusses the oral background of the Greek epic tradition, the Trojan cycle, the contents and nature of the cyclic epics (rightly held to be composed substantially later than the Homeric epics), and the special status, contents, and organization of the

[ Comments ] [ Items on The Rosetta Stone ] [ Items on Literature ] - Checklist Of Editions Of Greek And Latin Papyri, Ostraca And Tablets Last revised 20 July 2000. By: John F. Oates, William H. Willis, Roger S. Bagnall, Klaas A. Worp, Joshua D. Sosin with The primary purpose of the Checklist of Editions of Greek, Latin and Coptic Papyri, Ostraca and Tablets is to provide for scholars and librarians a ready bibliography of all monographic volumes, both current and out-of-print, of Greek, Latin and Coptic texts on papyrus, parchment, ostraca or wood tablets. Texts published in periodicals as journal articles are normally excluded, since they are regularly republished in successive volumes of Sammelbuch griechischer Urkunden aus Ägypten (SB), the volumes of which are included. Many volumes containing documentary texts publish literary and subliterary texts as well, and such volumes are of course included, together with volumes of the same series that are exclusively literary. No systematic attempt to include all exclusively literary and subliterary volumes has been made. Supplementary material - Corpora, Instrumenta, Series, etc. - has been added as seemed appropriate.

Extractions: Aphrodisias in Late Antiquity Home Narrative Introduction Letter forms ... Contact Section IX: Funerary texts Aphrodisias in the Roman period was, like any other city of the time, ringed by graveyards; since burial within cities was not permitted except in the most exceptional circumstances, necropoleis developed immediately outside the city. When the walls of Aphrodisias were built in the mid-fourth century, following the line of the city boundary, they incorporated a good deal of material from funerary monuments outside the city; as a result, although no necropolis at Aphrodisias has yet been extensively excavated, we possess many funerary inscriptions of the Roman period from this re-used material (see, for example, CIG MAMA , 532-97). They are mostly expressed in recurring formulae, which, while reflecting forms current elsewhere in Asia Minor, use terms particular to Aphrodisias, just as other cities and areas have their own funerary terminology. There is, therefore, a striking contrast between the Roman and the late Roman periods, since this section. including all the epitaphs apparently datable after AD 250, comprises only thirty-seven texts (including

Chapters: Preface Chapter 12. Paris And Helen The first name in romance, the most ancient and the most enduring, is that of Argive Helen. During three thousand years fair women have been born, have lived, and been loved, "that there might be a song in the ears of men of later time," but, compared to the renown of Helen, their glory is dim. Cleopatra, who held the world's fate in her hands, and lay in the arms of Caesar; Mary Stuart (Maria Verticordia), for whose sake, as a northern novelist tells, peasants have lain awake, sorrowing that she is dead; Agnes Sorel, Fair Rosamond, la belle Stuart, "the Pompadour and the Parabere," can still enchant us from the page of history and chronicle. "Zeus gave them beauty, which naturally rules even strength itself," to quote the Greek orator on the mistress of them all, on her who, having never lived, can never die, the Daughter of the Swan. While Helen enjoys this immortality, and is the ideal of beauty upon earth, it is curious to reflect on the modernite of her story, the oldest of the love stories of the world. In Homer we first meet her, the fairest of women in the song of the greatest of poets. It might almost seem as if Homer meant to justify, by his dealing with Helen, some of the most recent theories of literary art. In the "Iliad" and "Odyssey" the tale of Helen is without a beginning and without an end, like a frieze on a Greek temple. She crosses the stage as a figure familiar to all, the poet's audience clearly did not need to be told who Helen was, nor anything about her youth.

In June 1891 the poet went on a tour in Devonshire, and began his Akbar, and probably wrote June Bracken and Heather; or perhaps it was composed when "we often sat on the top of Blackdown to watch the sunset." He wrote to Mr Kipling - "The oldest to the youngest singer That England bore" (to alter Mr Swinburne's lines to Landor), praising his Flag of England. Mr Kipling replied as "the private to the general." Early in 1892 The Foresters was successfully produced at New York by Miss Ada Rehan, the music by Sir Arthur Sullivan, and the scenery from woodland designs by Whymper. Robin Hood (as we learn from Mark Twain) is a favourite hero with the youth of America. Mr Tom Sawyer himself took, in Mark Twain's tale, the part of the bold outlaw. The Death of OEnone was published in 1892, with the dedication to the Master of Balliol - "Read a Grecian tale retold Which, cast in later Grecian mould, Quintus Calaber Somewhat lazily handled of old."

Extractions: Speech-making and Persuasion in Homer and Apollonius di Peter Toohey (University of New England, Armidale) Summary The topic, in a sense, is a bogus one speech-making and persuasion in Homer and Apollonius. There are speakers and speeches enough in Greek epic, but, at least in Homer and Apollonius, there is little recognizable rhetorical elaboration of the classical kind. This, of course, is understandable in the case of Homer: he was writing before rhetoric was invented. Yet, in the case of the Alexandrian writer of epic, Apollonius of Rhodes (composing after Aristotle and the major orators), the absence of speech-making, thus the absence of "primary" rhetoric is striking. In this paper I intend to look, selectively, at several of the speeches in Homer and in Apollonius. My concern, above all, will be to isolate some of the major contrasts between the speech-making habits of Homer and of Apollonius. We will see, I hope, how "rhetorical" Homer can be. We will also see and this is perhaps the crux of my paper why Apollonius may have shown so little taste for primary rhetoric. For the sake of clarity I ought to anticipate here some of my larger conclusions. I will argue above all that Homer's speeches are exteriorized, that they are positive, outwardly directed, and expectantly ameliorative. Apollonius' prominent speeches, on the other hand, reflect an interiorization typified by hesitancy, inwardly turned anger, guile, and passivity. I believe that this difference (registering shared human attitudes, separated in time, which value the "outer", in Homer's case, or the "inner", in Apollonius' case) exemplifies a basic distinction between the two authors. This is a distinction which can also be detected in other fundamental aspects of their compositions: in their attitudes to heroism and the heroic, to women, to eros, and so forth. I believe that Apollonius' text, as we will see it in its speech-making and persuasion, embodies a change in the "discourse" of epic. It may also embody a change which has overtaken the shared Hellenistic
Extractions: The black man is lord of the people of the East. Race, Epistemology, and Historiography Westerners have a tendency to view interaction among the world's various peoples as a marker of the modern age. This implies that interaction across the globe is a modern phenomenon given primarily to Westerners. Inherent in this tendency is the inability of non-Westerners and those also deemed un-modern to participate in this interaction. "una creola negra"? Or how is Alberto Fujimori understood in a Peru once mined by African slaves? Of course, this idea already had been championed by scholars of African descent, writing a century or more before them. Volney made this statement only to bow to the political economy of racialized slavery. As Du Bois put it, "The Frenchman Volney called the civilization of the Nile valley Negro after his visit. But such a barrage of denial from later men met him that he withdrew his earlier conclusion, not because of further investigation, but because of scientific opinion in the nineteenth century." Du Bois pointedly identified the coercive political economy that signaled acquiescence to and then the rise of our most conventional and current historiography concerning Africa and its diaspora. "One must remember that Egyptology, starting in 1821, grew up during the African slave trade, the Sugar Empire and the Cotton Kingdom. Few scholars dared to associate the Negro race with humanity, much less civilization."
